A former Fort Stewart U.S. Army soldier will spend more than six years in federal prison for downloading child pornography from his home on the military base, officials said Thursday.
Fort Stewart is about 240 miles southeast of Atlanta and about 40 miles from Savannah.
Win Hang Vong, 26, had more than 100,000 photographs and videos of child porn on his computer and external hard drives in his military quarters, Acting U.S. Attorney James D. Durham said in a news release.
“Some of the child pornography contained images of babies being raped by adults,” Durham said.
Officials found Vong in December 2016, when members of the FBI’s and the GBI’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force conducted undercover investigations, Durham said. Vong admitted he had been downloading child porn on the internet for more than five years. Vong was later discharged from the Army.
U.S. District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood sentenced Vong on Thursday to 74 months in federal prison to be followed 20 years of monitored supervised release.
